24.04.10 Mangalore : A public exhibition of stolen property during the
period January to March 2010 has been arranged at the police grounds under
orders of top officers of the Police Department in D.K. dt., in Mangalore.
About 70 percent of these stolen items were returned to the rightful owners,
says a press release.
The stolen properties in the 3 months were valued at Rs.90,80,400 of which
Rs.68,38,000 worth of materials were returned to the original owners after
due checking. The district police are motivated in all such cases to help
the public to identify culprits and punish them, while restoring the “lost
and found” articles such as Jewellery, mobile phones etc. to the actual
owners, the press note added.

The police department is earnest in seeking public support to keep law and
order, and maintain harmony and peace in all societies under there care. The
police wish to earn the trust of the common people around them, who can
assist them to catch thieves and offenders. The public show is intended to
keep public contacts at a cordial level, for mutual gains in service, the
release indicated.

rather than search for the guilty after the criminal offences have taken
place, the officials told the press in a conference held on Saturday.

They asked the civilians to take better care of their personal properties
like purses, watches, mobile phones, giving no chances to the would-be
criminals by temptations. They asked the public to guard their properties
mutually, by keeping a watch over the homes when they go out. They (public)
should also help the police while trying to locate the culprits, and
identify them in a court of law, appealed the additional SP, Ramesh at the
press meet. Dy. SP D.G. Bhandary and Dy.SP Girish, Assistant S.P Rao Nivas
Sapat and other police officials were present.
